Location of originals note:

Originals in the possession of the Archivo General de la Nación, Mexico City, Mexico.

Language note:

Shortly after this material was acquired in 1948, translations were prepared. These have been filed in MG23-J13. Care should be taken in their usage as the translator was not familiar with eighteenth-century Spanish, nor with the history of the period in question. Names have been given in the most commonly accepted spelling.

Dates of creation note:

Copied in 1948 from originals held by the Archivo General de la Nación, Mexico City.
